Yul is really Direk Maryo's most successful talent. His real name is John Marvin Nieto and he was introduced in the Lav Diaz movie, "Batang Westside" in 2001 for which he quickly won a Cinemanila Filmfest acting award. More acting awards followed for films like "Brutus, Ang Paglalakbay" (a Cinemalaya entry), "Torotot" and "Laman".
He then ran for councilor of Manila's 3rd district. "Ayaw akong payagan noon ni Direk Maryo pero gusto ko talagang maglingkod sa mga kadistrito ko," Yul recalls. "Awa ng Diyos, nanalo and I served for three terms. Now, I'm on my first term as congressman of the 3rd district starting last year."
Yul and Direk Maryo raffled off several home appliances and cash prizes for the press at the party held at Annabel's Restaurant. Yul showed all the accomplishments he has done so far for his district and they're really quite impressive. But he has not neglected his acting career. He's now part of the action-drama series, "Tukhang", on Cignal TV which is now on its second season.
